Selection of appropriate machine and equipment is one of the most critical tasks required in surface mining. Since draglines are massive and expensive machines, their selection is of paramount concern to mining engineers and decision makers. The selection of appropriate dragline model requires simultaneous consideration of various parameters, such as geological properties of overburden material, stripping method, available fund, and technology. Therefore, this is a complex and time-consuming process. In this study, the dragline selection process was reviewed and a computer-aided selection program, Draglayout, was developed to increase the efficiency in the selection process. The developed software suggests list of the commercially available dragline units based on its maximum suspended load and reach factor which are compatible to achieve the given stripping and production targets. The selection process consists of four main stages as: initial estimations of dragline operation parameters (availability, dragline utilization, dragline operating hours, cycle time, ore production, ore recovery, etc.), defining initial mine design geometry, available equipment geometry, and mine design relations, reviewing the above steps and selecting the dragline.

Development of a computer-aided dragline selection program Akhundov, Sayid; Demirel, Nuray; Department of Mining Engineering (2017) Selection of appropriate machine and equipment is one of the most critical tasks required in surface mining. Since draglines are massive and expensive machines, their selection is of paramount concern to mining engineers and decision makers. The selection of appropriate dragline model requires simultaneous consideration of various parameters, such as geological properties of overburden material, stripping method, available fund and technology.

Development of a dynamic maintenance algorithm with multiple scenarios: a case study for surface mining Ölmez Turan, Merv; Gölbaşı, Onur; Department of Mining Engineering (2019) Surface mining operations such as ore extraction and overburden stripping activities highly depend on machine performance. These machines’ operational plan aims to handle required amount of material within a specific period with the lowest maintenance cost and the highest availability. In order to achieve these objectives, the machines should be adapted to the production schedule properly. On this basis, maintenance policies play crucial roles in the sustainability of operations. A maintenance policy is bas...
Operation Quality Indicators for Shovel-Truck Systems at Open-Pit Coal Mines Voronov, Anton; Voronov, Yuri; Voronov, Artyom; Demirel, Nuray (EDP Sciences; 2019-01-01) Stripping and mining operations at open-pit coal mines are performed mainly by heavy shovel-truck systems (STS). One of the main problems of the STS is a rather low level of its operation quality, an objective assessment of which is an important step in identifying the causes of low quality and effective ways to improve it. The purpose of assessing the STS operation quality is defined as a functional criterion. The next important step of the assessment is to choose the set of indicators that most characteri...
Development of a web-based manufacturing application system for rotational parts Özsüer, Erhan; Anlağan, Ömer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) Developing process plans and part programs rapidly and correctly for CNC machine tools plays a vital role in manufacturing. This study is concerned with the development of a web-enabled virtual design and manufacturing application system for rotational parts. The object oriented methodology is used in the application development. Windows Distributed interNet Application (DNA) architecture which describes a framework of building software technologies in an integrated web and client-server model of computing,...
Empirical feasibility analysis of thermoelectric energy harvesting in thermally limited compact mobile computers Khan, M. A. A.; Muhtaroglu, A. (AIP Publishing, 2014-01-01) Thermoelectric (TE) generation technology was experimentally established in previous research by our group as a viable technique for energy scavenging in a large notebook computer with no significant impact to system performance. The computer under investigation was designed to have additional thermal headroom, with Central Processing Unit (CPU) temperature significantly below its maximum limit under maximum workload conditions. Yet the question remained on if and how such scavenging could be done in small,...
